Spring is here… but has anything really changed?

Hi Reader, Spring is in the air — and I hope you’ve had the chance to pause, reset, and enjoy the Easter break. There’s something about this time of year… a subtle shift in energy, a sense of things opening up again. Maybe it’s even time to reach into the wardrobe and bring out the lighter, brighter colours… even if life itself still feels a little heavy. And yet, as we move through April, I keep hearing the same thing:“Where are the weeks going?” Quarter one has already passed — and before...

Workplace burnout among managers during performance targets meeting below budget

Hi Reader, It’s March. Normally, I’d begin with something about fresh starts or longer days. Instead, many of us switched on the TV or radio this morning to reports of overnight escalation. Airstrikes.Political leaders responding.Commentary already framing what it all means. And when uncertainty has already been running in the background for months — cost-of-living pressures, performance strain, ongoing global instability — it doesn’t land in isolation. It stacks. Whatever the merits.Whatever...

Hi Reader, You can tell it’s February — the gym’s starting to thin out already. The “new year, new me” crowd has quietly disappeared, the headlines are still shouting, and most people are just getting on with it — a bit more tired than they expected to be by now. If you went by the rhetoric alone — documentaries like Frontline, rolling news, political soundbites — you’d think we were on the brink of war with Russia. But that’s not what people are actually talking about. What’s coming up far...

Not Feeling ‘New Year Ready’? Read This.

Hi Reader, Do you really expect a Happy New Year? Or do you go into the year with hope — because certainty is long gone, and reality doesn’t reset with fireworks? If you’re carrying the weight of last year into this one, you’re not alone. Most people are. Tired. Reflective. Wondering if this year will be different — or just more of the same with a new number on it. So… Happy New Year. And I mean that — not as a wish, but as a hope. A quiet one. For something steadier. Something real. The...

Mike Lawrence sk Zoe Special Recognition Award 2025

Hi Reader, 🎄 “It is my heart-warm and world-embracing Christmas hope… that all of us… may eventually be gathered together in a heaven of everlasting rest and peace and bliss — except the inventor of the telephone.” — Mark Twain It’s December — the season of twinkling lights, overbooked diaries, and the sweet chaos of Christmas playlists on loop. This month, I’m stepping away from the usual format. Instead of tips or trends, I’m offering a moment to pause, reflect and reconnect. Whether loved...

Hi Reader, “In the rush to return to normal, use this time to consider which parts of normal are worth rushing back to.” — Dave Hollis We’re well into November now — and the countdown to Christmas seems to start earlier every year, doesn’t it? 🎄 Thank you for being here — I appreciate you taking a moment to pause and check in. The nights are drawing in, the heating’s creeping back on, and festive ads are already in full swing — whether we’re ready or not. The pace is picking up, but...

Mike Lawrence hosting The Exchange — a free live online wellbeing session for MHFAiders, wellbeing leads, and managers to reset and recharge before MHFAider Day.

Whether You Joined Us or Couldn’t — You’re Welcome at the Next Exchange Hi Reader, I hope you’ve had a chance to slow down since World Mental Health Day earlier this month. It was a powerful reminder that those who support everyone else need time to recharge too. And with MHFA England’s MHFAider Day just around the corner — 12th November — there’s even more reason to pause and reconnect. (MHFA England recently shared details on how MHFAiders across the UK can get involved and celebrate the...

Whether You Joined Us or Couldn’t — You’re Welcome at the Next Exchange Hi Reader, I hope you’re well. Can you believe it’s already October?

Hi Reader, I hope this finds you well — and easing gently into the new season. There’s a definite shift in the air now, isn’t there? The light’s changing, the days are shorter, and autumn’s quietly settling in. The heating’s crept back on — cautiously — and I’ve been watching the smart meter like it’s my bank balance after a weekend splurge. I'm not sure if it’s helping me save or just quietly stressing me out, but it has made me think more about what we’re all spending — not just money, but...
